If it is supposed to be in your gut flora, it will get there. Just eat a gut friendly diet high in high fiber foods, eat probiotic rich foods, get dirty, mingle, and stay away from antibiotics as much as possible.

There are no Christenalla probiotics, and maybe a good thing. However, it is one of the more common bacteria that I see in people's gut tests, and usually in very small amounts, like .1%. What happens if you unnaturally introduce it and create a 10-20% population? No one knows, maybe it would make you lean with disastrous results.

Best to focus on food, lifestyle, and other health factors and let your biome do its own thing.

A wonderful film - until they got to the part about bariatric surgery supposedly being the only treatment shown to work for the obese. Not true since I was once obese and now am not. The researchers keep saying diets "don't work," but do they mean people can't or won't adhere to them or that the obese are eating low calorie diets and still are not losing weight?

I hate to say this, but there is a lot of denial in the obese community - many really don't self report accurately their food intake. The film obviously didn't focus on this surgery, but I really question whether it actually works; I've seen reports that people manage to eat enough to gain their weight back.

Loved the American Gut guy! He made me laugh! Thanks for posting this!

I really enjoyed the video. I was all gun-ho to share it with friends, until the 'turkey baster' segment. For those friends that aren't gut savy, they would be like, WTF??And rightfully so. Heck, I'm fairly gut savy and I'm like, WTF??

About Me...

This is the blog of Tim Steele. I live in North Pole, Alaska...a small town near Fairbanks and just a stone's throw from the Arctic Circle. I've spent the last several years toying with and talking about numerous health interventions such as:

I use all of these simple interventions to stay healthy and lean. Having recovered from full-blown metabolic syndrome, I think that most people can cure themselves of most of their health problems with a focus on dietary and lifestyle choices.

I'm a 21 year US Air Force veteran with a background in electronics, water treatment, industrial controls, power generation, and science. I presently work in a hospital as the Electrical Systems Supervisor. I'm also pursuing a Master's Degree in Biotechnology through the University of Maryland.
